How much can €500,000 get you in different parts of Luxembourg?

We all know the housing market in Luxembourg is intense, to put it one way. atHome.lu recently estimated that the prices of both purchased and rented properties have risen in the previous year.

In atHome's recent report, the average price of an older apartment was €486,000, around 100,000 less than a new-build. So how exactly do prices vary from town to town? Or, should we say, what can €500,000 get you in various parts of Luxembourg?

In this first part of a series, we'll have a look at what €500,000 could get you property-wise around the capital, to the south, and just branching into the east of the country. This is by no means an exhaustive list and is only based on online adverts taken from atHome (for simplicity's sake). The adverts may not reveal anything about the actual condition of the homes in question, but provide a neat overview of what you could get. For the purpose of variety, we had a look at properties between €400,000 and €500,000.

Rodange - €435,000

This Rodange four-bedroom house shows a marked difference to more central properties, given its proximity to the border. At €435,000 and at 143 square metres, it is both our largest and cheapest property yet, but that comes with the price of having to commute with the cross-border workers and presumably sit in traffic.

Bous - €500,000

Finally, this three-bedroom house in Erpeldange (Bous) comes in at €500,000, but also has 150 square metres to play with.

We'll continue this series with having a look at other areas of Luxembourg and comparing what you could get in a mix of both older and newer buildings! Again, this is simply illustrative and in all properties pictured, there may be a number of other factors that account for the price.
